How a VPN helps sports fans
Wherever you are, a VPN is essential for sports streaming.
If you’re traveling, whether overseas or just to a different TV market, connect to a VPN to access your favorite sports channels securely on any network. ExpressVPN sends your traffic through a private and encrypted tunnel, allowing you to watch every game securely and keep your data safe from prying eyes while abroad.
If you’re watching at home, use a VPN to bypass ISP throttling. ExpressVPN makes your internet traffic more anonymous, so your ISP can’t identify and slow down your streams. The easiest way to enjoy VPN protection at home is with ExpressVPN’s Aircove routers. All your devices get VPN benefits instantly just by joining your Wi-Fi network—smart TVs and streaming sticks included.
Whether you’re looking to stream football, tennis, boxing, or any other event, you can catch every second of the action with a VPN. Score!
Can I use a VPN to watch live sports on streaming services from another country?
ExpressVPN is a privacy and security service and should not be used as a means of copyright circumvention. We cannot see or control what you do while connected to our VPN, so you are responsible for complying with our Terms of Service, your content provider’s terms, and any applicable laws.
Top sports to stream
ExpressVPN has you covered with the top sports to stream each week! Here’s what events have caught our eye for the week of July 22:
Cricket: The Hundred (July 23-28, times vary, TVNZ+ / BBC iPlayer / Kayo Sports / NOW / Willow TV / SonyLIV): Cricket fans craving summer action are in luck! The Hundred begins Tuesday when Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix clash in London. Check out our complete The Hundred hub for more info on this year’s tournament!
MLB: New York Yankees vs. New York Mets (July 23-24, 7 p.m. ET / 12 a.m. BST both nights, MLB.TV International / YouTube TV / Fubo): Are we headed for our first Subway Series World Series since 2000? Probably not, even as Brandon Nimmo and the Mets (with help from Grimace and shortstop/singer José Iglesias) have skyrocketed back into the playoff race. Aaron Judge and the Yankees look to avenge a two-game sweep to the Amazins last month.
Football: Leagues Cup (July 26-28, times vary, AppleTV+ / TSN+): Welcome to the fourth annual Leagues Cup! For the unfamiliar, MLS and Liga MX (a football league based in Mexico) squads will clash over the next month, with the three highest-placing teams qualifying for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup. Can Inter Miami (who may be without Lionel Messi yet again) win their second straight Leagues Cup?
Formula 1: Belgian Grand Prix (July 28, 3 p.m. local time / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. BST, Servus TV / RTBF / YouTube TV / F1 TV Pro): Max Verstappen’s road to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 title continues at the Belgian Grand Prix. Unsurprisingly, MVS has won in Stavelot each of the last three years. We’ll see if Lewis Hamilton, who last won at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in 2020, becomes only the third driver to win five Belgian GP races.
